Coaching at Chessilliant™ is built on a simple principle:
understand first, improve naturally.

How it works

Structured group classes designed to build real understanding of the game.

• Mondays – Beginners

• Tuesdays – Intermediate

• Time: 6:30pm – 7:30pm (UK)

Each session includes:

• 45 minutes of structured coaching

• 15 minutes for setup and questions

Group size is limited (max. 30 participants) to keep sessions focused and effective.

Who it’s for

• Beginners – learning the rules and building confidence

• Intermediate players – improving planning and consistency

• Children and adults

Teaching approach

Each session is designed to help you think clearly about the position in front of you.

You will learn how to:

• Identify what is happening in the position

• Understand why it matters

• Decide how to respond with confidence

Memorisation has its place in chess, but only when it is built on understanding.

This is developed through:

• Clear explanations

• Practical examples

• Guided thinking using real positions

• Development of strong decision-making habits

What you will learn

• Opening principles (understanding before memorisation) 

• Tactics and pattern recognition

• Positional understanding

• Planning and decision-making

• Essential endgames

The goal

To help you think better at the board — and enjoy the game more as a result.

Upcoming start
